lo DEDICATION. 

Dedicated to my Sister, Mrs. Sarah A. Ketchum, who 
planned with me, while in the body, to reveal to the world 
the Infallibility and Immortality of Human Nature — In- 
herent Divinity.

PREFACE. 

The Glory of All is in All. The Glory of each is in Himself. 

Man and nature are based on mathematical and musical princi- 
ple, as exact as the law of chemistry and astronomy. He who 
hath found the harmonic chord in himself can play in all the keys 
of humanity. He is a mathematical equation — a Master Musi- 
cian. Personal, Eternal Equilibrium. He is the infinite har- 
monics, mathematics and dynamics of the molecule. 

The Foundation Rock of the Universe is Eternal Personality. 
All that we call the world is the manifestation of our own In- 
finite Consciousness — Me. 

The Inspiration of true ideals, and the guidance of correct 
principles are the motor powers or operative forces utilized in 
transmuting experience into wisdom, skill and power. "Blind 
experience" is always and everywhere a plodder. 

Revelation and Inspiration declare the utility and necessity of 
the Force called "Sin," in the economy of the universe, and im- 
mortality of the human natural faculties and forms. Faculties 
are Force. Force is without beginning or end. Man is that In- 
fallible Substance that he calls Nature or energy. 



The God in a man is greater than his "Sin." "Where sin 
doth abound, grace doth much more abound." 
. "He who knows and feels Truth, is Truth Incarnate. He that 
sanctifieth and he that is sanctified is One." 

"The pure worship of a pure heart is, and always was, an in- 
spired song." 

"There is a Spirit in Man and the inspiration of The All 
Mighty giveth him understanding." 



"To make all See, what is the fellowship of the mystery, which 
from the beginning of the world hath been hid in God; wherein 
he hath abounded towards us in all Wisdom and prudence, having 
made known unto us the mystery of His Will according to His 
good pleasure, which He hath purposed in Himself; that in the 
dispensation of the fullness of the times He might gather to- 
gether in One, all things, under Christ," Christus — Illumination — 
Understanding. Eph. 1-8, 10, hi. -4, 5, 9. 



"To the intent that now may be made known the much diversi- 
fied wisdom of God according to a plan of the ages which He 
hath formed.'' Eph. iii.-io. 

"The Mystery which in other ages was not made known unto 
the sons of Men." Eph. 3, 3-6. 

"Even the Mystery which hath been hid from ages, and from 
generations, but now is made manifest, the riches of the glory 
of this mystery among gentiles." Col. I., 24-27. 



"Nature, like a cautious testator, ties up her estate so as not 
to bestow it all on one generation." — Emerson. 

"Beware when God lets a thinker loose upon the planet." — 
Carlyle. 

"We have been slow to learn this divinity of our own lives, 
but the age is steadily rising — humanity is becoming broader, 
healthier, kinder, since it began to find God in the common 
things of the world. The soul of our age, says the poet, has 
looked in upon herself and discovered a glow of matchless value, 
and learned from a new teacher the beauty, dignity and grandeur 
of her own life." — Dr. College, Aurora, 111. 



Said Frederick the Great to his chaplain: 

"Doctor, if your religion is a true one, it ought to be capable 
of very brief and simple proof." 

The sound of tools to a clever workman, who loves his work, 
is like the tentative sounds of the orchestra to the violinist who 
has to bear his part in the overture; the strong fibres begin their 
accustomed thrill, and what was a moment before joy, vexation 
or ambition, begins its change into energy." 



"No man is born into the world whose work is not born with 
him." 

"By the work one knows the workman." 

"Hear ye not the hum of mighty workings?" 

There is always work, and tools to work with, withal for 
those who will. 

"The work under our labor grows."

" We ever stand in the presence of an Eternal Energy from 
which all things proceed and to which all things retire."— Herbert 
Spencer. 

"I form the light and I create darkness; I make fear and I 
.create Evil— I the Lord do all these things." 



"And if any man hear my words and belive not, I judge him 
not." — Jesus. John 12-47. 

"Show us the Father and it sufficeth." — Philip. 

"He that hath seen Me hath seen the Father. The Father and 
I are one, Ye in Me, I in Ye." — Jesus. 

"Is it not written in your law, I said Ye are gods?" — Jesus.

THE SCIENCE OF PERSONALITY. 



Eternal Self -Consciousness. 

I AM WHAT I AM. 

The Perfect Law. 



ME. 
The spider spins her wondrous web, 

From out herself 'tis spun. 
She needs no teacher, creed nor crown, 

Untaught she teaches none. 
She ties her knots and glues them tight, 

A cunning workman she ; 
Then sends her invitation out 

To flies, to come and see. 

The honey bee no tutor has, 

No lessons hard to spell, 
No architect helps her to build 

Her geometric cell. 
She sips the dew and sucks the sweets 

To mix her loaf of bread, 
No book has she — no recipe 

To bake it brown or red. 

The caterpillar knows enough 

To cuddle up and sleep, 
And waken up a butterfly 

To soar instead of creep. 
To kiss the buds and court the flowers 

And snuff their sweet perfume, 
And carry pollert on its wings 

To blossom out the bloom. 



14 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

The little bird ne'er learned to peep 

And pick its tiny shell. 
It knows just how to eat and sleep 

And feather out as well. 
To cheep and chirp and choose its mate 

And form its fairy nest, 
And lay its egg as well as at first — 

No practice makes a "best." 

The "piggie wiggie" in its pen— 

The pretty we — we — we — 
Was never taught to run and root, 

And have a pedigree. 
It squeals and squirms, it helps itself 

Pursue its will and way ; 
Science and Scripture in the "Law" 

Of It is plain as day. 

Inspired, impelled it grunts and grows 

And takes a nap between ; 
Abstruse abstractions it abhors, 

Nature, its only theme. 
Predestined, fore-ordained to love 

Its bonny clabber milk. 
It envies not an emperor 

In robes of royal silk. 

The Mother lullaby's her babe 

And feeds it from her breast, 
No syllogisms teach her Jwzv — 

The darling does the rest. 
No college university 

Informs that Father why, 
And where and how that youngster learned 

The art of yelling I 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 15 

The baby laughs and kicks and crows 

And not a thing 'twas taught, 
It screams and squalls and does what else 

A dear sweet baby ought. 
He was not schooled to hear and see, 

To feel, and smell, and wink, 
Without a pedagogue, he thought, 

To suck his thumb, and think. 

The maiden knows just how to pet 

And kiss her sweetheart beau, 
She needs no schoolmaster to whip 

Her into doing so. 
He needs no rigid "Rule of Three," 

No Law of Syntax terse, 
He simply feels; and folds her up 

Into his arms in verse. 

Dear Grandma'ma with patient face, 

And hair as white as snow, 
Sits weaving fancies all the day 

Of thoughts that come and go. 
And dozing, dreams of one fair form 

Who stood her own beside. 
Together prayed and struggled on 

Until the dear one died. 

A lovely vision now unveils, 

The Soul of each is One, 
Attracted by Superior Force 

Her Will is being done, 
The Holy Book she lays aside, 

She hears an anthem grand 
And gladly goes away from us, 

Led by a human hand. 



16 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

We live and love, we breathe and move, 

We hope and strive — desire 
No mathematic formulas 

Teach us to pray — aspire. 
The God Within Us is the Me, 

It doeth all in all. 
It knoweth, Tis the great I Am 

In creatures large and small. 

It forms and bursts the tiny seed, 

It tassels out the corn ; 
For from the outside nothing grows 

And not a thing is born. 
The chemic knows just what to do, 

Atoms obey the law, 
Throughout this mighty Universe 

There's not a single flaw. 

The silken web and waxen cell 

Are forms so wondrous fair, 
That men build on their principles 

Grand palaces with care. 
The Archetype of Heaven and Earth, 

The molecule and man, 
Is manifest in everything, 

Is Purpose, Power and Plan. 

The world is infinite, I know, 

And Mind the only Force, 
That finds Sensation in Ourselves, 

Thought forms they are of course. 
And whether good or whether bad. 

Where e'er they flash or fade, 
They will fulfill a destiny, 

And do as they are bade. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 17 

The self-eternal molecules, 

The atoms uncreate, 
Speed ever on their circling way, 

To unify and mate. 
To congregate in glittering suns 

New forms to make — unmake, 
Within our bodies live and love 

When sleeping or awake. 

All Human Nature is divine, 

I sense it Everywhere. 
'Tis Universal Substance, too, 

In us and in the air. 
Sensation sits on every throne 

And opens every door 
To pain or pleasure, heaven or hell, 

In Wit or Wisdom's lore. 

Emotion sups with even- Soul, 

And lives eternal life. 
'Tis indestructible, I know, 

Like Atom and his wife. 
'TIS Nature, God and Man in One, 

The Holy Trinity, 
The uncreated — unbegun 

Ideal — Deity. 

Our sins are Teachers — Time's events, 

Ambition, pride of power 
Are manifest in all of us, 

In us they bud and flower. 
Take these away and we are naught, 

They mark our entities. 
And shall endure throughout all time. 

Yea, and eternities. 



18 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Perfection rules within, without, 

In Bird and Beast and Man, 
In each one shine the Form and Force, 

The Human Nature Plan ! 
It moves the Countless Orbs in Space, 

Untaught, unchanged, unbound, 
Transfigures forces here on earth, 

For Endless Cycles Round. 

Almighty power! Omnific Mind! 

Omniferous All Good ! 
Like to Thy Self are all of us, 

WE are thy seed — thy brood. 
For countless seons we have slept 

Within Thy Loving Breast, 
As mothers lullaby their babes, 
Thy Vigil Thou hast kept. 

Till waking up in Thee we find, 

Thy self, in us, to be, 
To recognize Thy Power at all, 

We Must be Great as Thee. 
If Thou art my Ideal One, 

Then I am Thine, forsooth. 
What We are not, Thou canst not be, 

Thou Great Eternal Truth. 

Then out of Thee we cannot go, 

Nor Thou from us depart. 
Thou art our Head and Hands and Feet, 

Intelligence, and Heart. 
For what Thou art, we too must be, 

Thou Infinite I AM, 
All finished, uncreate. We live 

To love Ourselves — Thy Man. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 19 

The planets to their orbits cleave 

Nor from their centers fly, 
Obedient to inherent Law 

The same as you and I. 
The Seasons circle round and round, 

Like children in their play. 
And register themselves in me 

In Nature's own sweet way. 

For It is all that is or was, 

And I am It. The link , 
To all of Nature's lovely laws 

Is in Myself, I think. 
Then wuold I grasp her Mighty Power, 

Her Mysteries unlock ; 
Down, deep within Myself I dive, 

And find foundation — Rock. 

And, though I seek and strive for God 

Till thought is lost in thought, 
True Knowledge of Myself, I find, 

My Oztm True Self, I sought. 
The Music of the Spheres am I, 

The Grand Harmonic Chord, 
Vibrant in all the Universe 

Responsive Man and Lord. 

Self-Poised, Self-Centered, Conscious Life, 

All Mind and Will and Thought, 
All full of human ways and means 

Like Jesus, when he taught. 
He praised his God Within Himself, 

And justified The Man. 
I've done just as he did, I'm sure, 

I've done the best I can.

SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

He said that he was "All in All," 

An Egotist was he, 
A SELF Existent Natural Man, • 

He loved Himself, his "Ale." 
He bowed not down to Crude Beliefs, 

Was called the worst of cranks. 
He "Raised the Dead"— Ten lepers healed, 

One only, rendered thanks. 

He told us "not to judge"— condemn, 

Yet, did not keep that Law, 
Because he could not— wherefore he 

Was perfect— without flaw. 
He said that He and God were One, 

And deified the Man, 
He did just as he did, because 

He was his own I am. 

He called men "vipers"- -"spulchers," 

And once said they were Gods, 
But "Ye in Me, and I in Ye," 

Just evened up the odds. 
Thev called him "devil," "blasphemer," 

He, their commandments brake, 
He said that He and God were One, 

And spake as no man spake. 

"In Nazareth no mighty works 

The prophet-priest could do," 
Was subject to environments, 

The same as all of you. 
When asked the question, who hath sinned, 

This blind man or his sire ? 
He answered, "neither ;" 'twas the shade 

Of unfulled desire. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 21 

He "cast the devils out of men, 

And sent them into swine." 
"He cursed the Fig- Tree" — tore the "Leaf 

From Human Forms Divine. 
He loved as other men have loved. 

I know it was the same, 
His Mary was so human, too, 

With "Mother's" face and name. 

Of "Royal Blood" — "King David's Line," 

Of "Jesse's Stem" The Head, 
A Grand, Good, gentle, noble man, 

A Thinking Thorough Bred. 
A sinless One with all Desire 

The Human and Divine, 
With all the forces of his Sex 

Unblemished with decline. 

The "Friend of Woman," Church and State, 

Of Sinner, Science, Home, 
Stooped down to lift the suffering up, 

And stay the "Law of Stone." 
Stooped down and wrote upon the sand 

A Principle for men. 
They skulked away — aghast ! ashamed ! 

To be themselves just then. 

"Despised, rejected, scorned of men," 

"A man of sorrow he," 
Omnipotence in him fulfilled, 

A human, natural Me. 
Fore-Knowing all — the thief he blest 

And Judas justified, 
•The "saint" and "sinner" hung alike 

And suffered side bv side. 



22 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

The celibate and virgin maid, 

True to Prophetic Law, 
Of Judah's tribe and Judah's might 

The Magis all foresaw. 
Were fore-ordained, predestined thus 

To figure in the plan, 
O'er shadowed by the Infinite 

Intelligence in man. 

"Illegal babe," a "lawless man," 

Attuned to Nature's Grace, 
She clasped him with Eternal Force — 

A Magnetized Embrace. 
A child of love — Love was his Theme — 

A God and Man in one, 
In "Bastard Child" and her reviled 

Jehovah's Will was done. 

The Natural was satisfied 

(The force without a flaw), 
And all the Race was justified — 

Judas fulfilled the Law. 
The Church and State, Pilate and Priest, 

All, each, and every man, 
Were thus compelled to Be and Do — 

Each was his own I am. 

The Perfect Pattern shadowed forth — 

True to Eternal Law, 
(The Type of all the universe) 

Was what the prophets saw. 
The "Perfect Man"«was typified, 

The Archives glowed with "Grace," 
The law was harsh and cold and stern, 

Love justified the Race. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 23 

In Lamentation, Israel, 

Of God and Devil raved. 
Between the two the "chosen ones" 

Alone were to be saved. 
The Messianic Masculine 

Discerned another Brain, 
The Human Being — Head of God — 

The "Three in One" explain. 

Melchisedec and He were One, 

"Of Righteousness the King." 
His Self Hood "had no parentage" — 

An uncreated Thing. 
"Without descent'.' — his Consciousness 

Was All Intelligence, 
No end of days — "beginningless," 

The Source of All Events. 

The Bee is perfect as a bee, 

To nature true the flower, 
The human being to His Tvpe, 

His functions and his power. 
Completeness is within, without 

The chemicals and man, 
In each one is the Infinite, 

Intelligence — / Am. 

Fore-Knowing all, I all forgive, 

Myself I justify, 
In everything I do and say 

It all is I, I, I? 
I praise the God Within Myself 

And glorify the Plan, 
I do as well as Jesus did — 

I do the best I can. 



24 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

All full of human wants and needs, 

Of hope, desire and prayer, 
Dependent on the universe 

For food and fire and air. 
I've dined on dire necessity 

And drunk the "hitter gall," 
Compulsion carved my cross and crown, 

And crucified my All. 

By church and state have been condemned, 

'Twas natural and true, 
Have done the same as others 

Who are compelled to do. 
I've had my dark, dark night of woe, 

My own "Gethsemdne" 
And Ressurection from The Tomb 

Of Unbelief in Me. 

I've fed the hungry, clothed the nude, 

And healed the sick and sore, 
To those who asked have given alms, 

Exhausted all my store. 
Borrowed of friends and begged of foes 

All wants and woes to mend, 
And having naught to pay the debt 

I am not self-condemned. 

I've fed Humanity on Truth, 

And opend wide the door 
To all the Nations of the Earth 

To help themselves to more. 
Have been a Warrior brave and bold, 

Have saved the Gospel Ships 
In lighting up the Sciences 

With Inspiration's lips. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 25 

I argued every form of force, 

With prophet, priest and king, 
The muscles of my throat collapsed ; 

I ceased my Reasoning. 
I questioned "Devil," "God" and Man, 

The Answer was in Me, 
The Question and the Questioner 

Is all there e'er can be. 

I prayed for harmony and light, 

I sought it here and there, 
Discovered I was It — was All, 

I answered my own prayer. 
I sought Perfection up and down, 

I roamed the wide world o'er, 
Then knew that I was my Desire, 

Was it, not less nor more. 

I've passed through "Fiery Furnaces," 

The Purgatorial Flame 
Has clasped my form and kissed my lips 

And forced me into Fame. 
Obedient to my destiny 

I kield now to Control, 
The Spirit Knoweth—Doeth All 

And "Quickeneth" the Whole. 

As I can sense the Stellar Orbs, 

In nightly splendor roll, 
And feel the rhythm that sways the earth, 

From North to Southern pole. 
I must be greater far than they. 

In Me they must exist. 
And I in them, their glory share, 

And they in mine persist. 



26 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

I'm in all things, all things in Me, 

The seed, the cell, the flower, 
Eternity in time, and Time 

In Endless day and Hour. 
I'm in the solid, liquid, gas, 

The ether, air and sea, 
Without Me naught can pause or pass, 

Not anything can be. 

I'm in the light, the heat and sound, 

In Electricity, 
They live and breathe and move in Me 

Find their Affinity. 
Color and odor, time and space, 

If We did not exist, 
Would cease to be, for they in Us 

And of Us must consist. 

The mountains, magnets, moons and stars, 

The sun, and "Cosmic Force" 
Are'concepts of Our Consciousness, 

In Us they have their Source. 
Projections into space are they 

Of Thought— The Ether Free 
With Centers and Circumferences, 

In Us, The One Idea. 

Man in the Silence, Speech and Song, 

The breathing, smile and frown, 
The mews of cats— the sigh of winds, 

That shake the snow-flakes down. 
Yea, in the spider's silken thread, 

The bee and waxen cell, 
The butterfly, and peep of bird, 

Which baby tries to tell. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 27 

Man in the mellow ripened fruit, 

Of Autumn's ample store, 
Where bursting sheaves, and bulging barns, 

Are running o'er and o'er. 
They live and move, and shadow forth 

The Personal Divine. 
All things are Us and We are all, 

Therefore all things are mine. 

The Sense of sight and taste and touch, 

Of hunger, thirst and sleep, 
Are forms of Thought — of Consciousness 

Within the Mental keep, 
While heat and cold, and good and bad, 

Are attributes in us, 
Sensations of the Thinking Power, 

We name them thus and thus. 

Digestion is invisible, 

Nutrition is the same, 
And Circulation seems to be 

Omnipotent in claim, 
Propelled by Thought within itself, 

The same as - you and me, 
Old Deposition helps itself, 

And then the other three. 

The tear and laughter, speech and song ; 

The breathing, sigh and frown, 
Are Soul inspired activites 

The Natural to crown. 
They live and move and shadow forth, 

Our Character Divine, 
And all are endless forms of T/iougJit, 

In deathless Me and Mine. 



28 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Take Me away, and naught remains, 

Of all this Universe, 
For I am all and all are me, 

I'm vine and voice and verse, 
I'm bee and bug, I'm bird and bower, 

Am "Angel," "Devil," "God," 
Have done all things and been all things, 

Both heaven and hell I've trod. 

I'm glad that everything I've been, 

For all I've said and done, 
This Energy is God in Me, 

Divine and Human One. 
I'm glad that sorrow, pain, despair 

Have nestled in my breast, 
Where poverty and toil and care 

Sat grim unbidden guest. 

I'm glad for all environments, 

Of sin and shame and sham, 
The Forces of the Infinite, 

That make me what I am, 
That find in Me the Agency, 

To penetrate the Night 
Of Unbelief in "God in Man," 

With Mental Dynamite. 

I'm glad that failure and defeat 

Have breathed in me their breath, 
And made of me an invalid 

Long at the gate of death. 
I'm glad that I was not resigned, 

But struggled to get free, 
And in the Effort and Desire 

Found health and Heaven in Me. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 29 

I'm glad that I was not content 

To feed on drugs, and be 
A paralytic full of fear, 

Condemned by the M. D. 
I'm glad I sought the Natural, 

The Science of the Soul, 
The Substance of My Higher Self, 

That made my body whole. 

I'm glad that Friction fierce as fire 

Has done its work in me, 
And generated Force enough 

To set my Spirit free, 
To roam in realms of Consciousness 

Above the SENSE of Sin, 
To justify experience 

And lift the Veil within. 

Oft Error Omnipresent seemed. 

Compelled I was to do 
The thing I blamed another for. 

The Plan is good and true, 
The Word I vowed, I kept it not, 

"That I zvonld not, I did," 
Like Jesus, Paul, each one and all 

The Universe amid. 

Lama, Sabathna-Elohm ! 

My God ! My God ! My God ! 
Why hast thou, too, forsaken me? 

O ! spare thy chastening rod, 
Remove this scorching crucible 

From thy obedient one, 
And yet — and yet — not mine, but thy 

Eternal Will be done. 



30 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Thy Will be done? Thy Will be done? 

When forced to fail and yield 
We say Amen ! Amen ! Amen ! 

In Nature's Battle Field, 
The Grave yard of our Pet Beliefs ; 

I covered o'er my Dead, 
And Dear Ideals — now debris, 

And from the ruin fled. 

My Soul was dumb and passionless, 

Its Sun had turned to ink. 
Its moon and stars were blotted out, 

The brain refused to think, 
Frozen were all the founts of faith, 

My highest holiest aims 
Were shipwrecked on the Shoal of Fate, 

Where Reason scarce remains. 

Lo, I will never, never leave! 

Thee, I will ne'er forsake ! 
A Voice from out the darkness cried, 

And thus the Conscience spake. 
The "Promises" are to the Just, 

Who consecrate the Whole, 
And pass through grim "Gethsemane" 

Up to the Final Goal. 

Thou Shalt! and Thou Shalt not! 

A rule for man to talk 
In Principle a Mighty Force, 

In Practice, none can walk ; 
Harmonic Discord ! Thou art Power, 

We reverence thy name, 
The Natural Scale is incomplete 

Without Thee — King of Flame. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 31 

Events that I could not control 

Nor could their Purpose see, 
Confronted me at every point 

In "'Free Will Agency." 
I challenged Fate — I called it God, 

And lo! the Thought set free 
The Forces of my Higher Self, 

My Own Divinity. 

O ! many, many times I tried 

Others to change — reform, 
And failing, practiced on myself, 

Then fainted — weary — worn. 
I suffered shame, remorse, regret 

In trying to do right, 
Then found that I was forced to act 

As others do — to Fight. 

To battle Fate and Circumstance, 

Then yield to their control — 
Conditioning, condemning all, 

Disgusted with the whole. 
To war with elements without 

And sentiment within, 
To fight it out with Faith and Doubt, 

Fear, do and be my "Sin." 

For it is us and we are It 

'Tis Infinite Desire, 
Without it we cannot exist, 

The Soul connot aspire. 
It is a Universal Fact, 

A subtle Flame of Fire, 
Without it life would be a farce, 

And Love and Truth expire. 



32 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Desire is human and divine, 

The Natural and true, 
The Power that meets us everywhere 

In all we are and do. 
As we desire Eternal Life 

We are our own desire. 
And find within us every Force, 

The Universe entire. 

O ! I am all events— desires, 

They co-exist in me 
In never-ending forms of Thought, 

Throughout Eternity. 
Equipped with Power I breathe them forth 

From the Infinity 
Of Nature's Reservoir of Truth, 

The Throne of Deity. 

Then I to be the "All in All" 

Must be my neighbor. Yes, 
Must be Christ Jesus, if at all 

I can be nothing less. 
For God and I are one, I trow, 

Not two, nor numbers vast, 
And in Myself, all things exist, 

The future and the past. 

I'm Paul and Peter, Judas, John, 

Paine, Ingersoll, Voltaire, 
Am Dante too, and "Beezlebub," 

Eve, Adam, and the pear, 
So I am every one I meet, 

And All are only me, 
For I can sense naught but Myself, 

In Evervthing I see.

Are moulded in my Mind, 
That moves in circles, sings in songs, 

And lives in all Mankind. 
They love themselves, as we do here, 

Their neighbor, as they ought. 
And make their new environments, 

As they advance in Thought. 

O Endless Life ! O Boundless Love 

Within us ! Shout and sing. 
Dark grave, You have no victory ! 

Grim death, You have no sting! 
Arch-Angels see themselves in us, 

We in their substance share, 
We are in God ; God is in us, 

Both here, and everywhere. 

O Heavenly Vision, open wide 

The portals of the Soul. 
Light up the Written Word Within, 

Unfold the Shining Scroll, 
That we may read the "Book of Life," 

Thy Law, O Deity. 

Perception, Reason, Memory, 

Thou art the Trinity. 

Light up the Scriptures in the Soul, 

The Bible in the Man. 
That holds the key to Nature's Laws, 

The Purpose and the Plan. 
Reveal the Mystic Law of Love, 

The Mind in Nature fire, 
With heavenly zeal, to bless, not curse, 

The holy thing — desire. 



34 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

We'll know the Nature of the Man ; 

We'll read God's will aright, 
And on the wings of Truth we'll rise 

To regions of delight. 
No time, nor space, nor change, nor form, 

Can keep us from Our Own, 
Eternal Mind in all of us, 

And We in it alone. 

I've spun my Winding Web of Thought, 

From out myself 'tis spun, 
I need no preacher, creed nor crown, 

Untaught, I'm teaching none. 
I've tied my knots, and glued them tight, 

A cunning workman, Me! 
I send my invitation out, 

To folks, to come to tea. 

I've built my home up in my Soul, 

A lovely place to dwell, 
And at my Table, all may dine, 

On what I have to tell. 
With dews of Life and drops of Love, 

I've mixed my Living Bread, 
On food for Gods, and ends and odds, 

I'm daily, hourly fed. 

And now I'm sure you all will want 

Your own sweet selves to keep 
And waken up the Psychic Power 

Where all your forces sleep ; 
To flit among the buds and flowers 

Of Thought whose sweet perfume 
Will linger in your Mind and live 

Eternallv in bloom. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 35 

You understand just how to Peep, 

And pick your Mental shell, 
You know just how to love yourself 

And do it very well. 
To court and coo, and choose your mate, 

And form your fairy nest. 
And go to keeping house like birds, 

And sometimes take a rest. 

You often smile, and fear, and frown, 

And do these things — untaught, 
You fear and fret a little, too, 

As human beings ought. 
You were, not schooled to hear, and see, 

To feel, and smell, and wink, 
Without a pedagogue, you thought 

To think — and think — and think. 

To battle fate and circumstance, 

Then yield to their control, 
Conditioning, condemning all, 

Disgusted with the whole. 
You war with elements without, 

And sentiment within. 
You fight it out with faith and doubt, 

Fear, do and are Your "Sin." 

Your Mental Cyclones — Earthquakes — Storms 

The tempests of your Soul, 
Are Forces of the Fires Within, 

That flame beyond control, 
And waken up the God of Thought, 

Where Inspiration sleeps, 
Transforming in its processes 

Of trials and reliefs. 



36 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

O you are every form and force, 

And all are surely You, 
For you can sense naught but Yourself 

In all you arc and do. 
Some time you'll be so very glad 

For all you've said and done, 
As all the Universe is You 

And You are Every one. 

Then You to be the "All in All" 

Must be your neighbor. Yes, 
Must be Christ Jesus, if at all, 

You can be nothing less. 
For God and You are One, I trow, 

Not two, nor numbers vast, 
And in Yourself all things exist, 

The future and the past. 

You're Paul and Peter, Judas, John, 

Paine, Ingersoll, Voltaire, 
And Dante, too, and "Beelzebub," 

Eve, Adam and the pear, 
So you are every One you meet, 

And All are only You, 
For you can sense naught but Yourself 

In Everything you view. 

O, You, to be the All in All, 

Must be Melchisedec, 
The Solar System, Sun and Stars, 

The smallest spot and speck. 
You're Moses, David, Abraham, 

Goliah, Jezebel, 
Elijah, Hainan, Hagar, Ham. 

Ah me ! Well, well, well, well. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 37 

You'll build your home up in Yourself 

In Understanding — Soul, 
Where "Inner Light" — the God Within — 

Illuminates the whole. 
You'll build with Thought upon a Rock — 

A Character so true ; 
No "Sound of hammer shall be heard" — 

The Temple will be You. 

In You all creeds and creatures meet 

And nations rise and fall. 
In You At-Onement is complete 

"Redemption and the Fall." 
Transfigured and Transformed by Truth, 

The Truth You e'er shall be, 
A Christ All Glorified Within, 

A Self-Existent Me. 

The Absolute within, without, 

In Bird and Beast and Alan, 
In each one is Intelligence, 

The natural / Am. 
Bound by its own Inherent Law 

Like needle to the pole, 
Or planets to their orbits fixed 

Obedient to the whole. 

* * # * * * 

O, Heavenly Yision, open wide 

The portals of the Soul, 
Light up the "Written Word Within," 

Unfold the Shining Scroll, 
That we may read the "Book of Life," 

Thy law, O Deity, 
Perception, Reason, Memory — 

Thou art the Trinity. 



38 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Light up the Scriptures in the Self, 

The Bible in the Man. 
That holds the Key to Nature's Laws — 

The purpose and the Pl&n. 
Reveal the Mystic Lazv of Love, 

The Mind in Nature fire 
With heavenly zeal to bless — not curse — 

The holy thing — Desire. 

Oh, Endless Life — Oh, Boundless Love 

Wkhin Us ! shout and sing ! 
Dark Grave, you have no victory! 

Grim Death, you have no sting! 
Arch-Angels see themselces in us. 

We in their Substance share, 
We are in Truth, Truth is in us, 

Both here and everywhere. 

With Faith and Hope to lead us on, 

V hethtr we groan or grin, 
The '"Saint and Sinner" pass alike 

Through every Grace and "Sin." 
And, whether fainting by the way 

Or floating through the air, 
We'll find that Alan is Truth — is God — 

And Mind is everywhere. 

Almighty Power! Ommfic Mind! 

Omnifeious, All Good! 
Within :is Thou dost live and dwell, 

And IV c are understood. 
For countless aeons we have slept 

Within thy Loving Breast. 
As mothers lullaby their babes, 

Thy vigil. Thou hast kept. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 39 

Till, waking up in Thee, we find 

Thyself in us to be. 
To recognize Thy Mind in us 

We must be Great as Thee. 
If Thou art my Ideal One, 

Then I am Thine, forsooth ; 
What we are not, Thou canst not be — 

Thou Great, Eternal Truth. 

Then out of Thee we cannot go, 

Nor Thou from us depart. 
Thou art our Head, and Hands, and Feet, 

Intelligence and Heart. 
For what Thou art, we too must be, 

Thou Infinite I Am. 
All Finished — uncreate, we live 

To Love Ourselves — Thy Man. 

The maiden knows just how to pet 

And kiss her sweetheart beau, 
She needs no schoolmaster to urge 

Her into doing so. 
The lover needs no Rule of Three, 

Or law of Syntax terse ; 
Full well he understands the song 

Of vine, and voice, and verse. 

The God Within Us is the Me, 

It doeth All in All, 
It knoweth, 'tis the One I Am 

In creatures large and small ; 
It fills and bursts the seed and cell, 

All vitalized and warm; 
Thought is the Substance, Soul and Force, 

The body is its form. 



40 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

It moves the Countless Orbs in Space, 

Untaught, Unchanged, Unbound, 
Transfigures forces here on earth 

For Endless Cycles Round. 
It fashions fibre, face and form, 

And links them all in one, 
Complete and Perfect Principle 

Of Being unbegun. 

Perfection is within, without, 

The Mind and mode of Man, 
In Omnipresent Consciousness, 

The Substance that / am, 
'Tis positive and negative, 

All Nature uncreate ; 
The Scientific, Sentient Law 

Of THINKING grand and great. 

Some name it Spirit— Nature— Force, 

And some, Sex Energy, 
While others say 'tis Fate— Desire, 

And Stern Necessity. 
/ call it All — Redemption, Fall, 

Compulsion, Passion, Pelf; 
I know 'tis Me, and plainly see 

You'll say 'tis You— ONE Self.

SELF ETERNAL SUBSTANCE. 
DIVINE LAW. 

Mary A. Hunt. 



INTRODUCTION. 

The characteristics and qualities of the Human Being 
are discernible in the universal forces of nature. 

Science and Scripture are Omnipresent Revelations. 
Neither can overthrow the other. Both are inherent in 
the Race — immutable and unchangeable they unveil the 
Infallible Potency of Man. Apparently antagonistic, they 
are not so in reality, being synchronous and comple- 
mentary forms of masculine and feminine humanity. 

Religion emphasizes The Personal God, Immortality 
of Man, Revelation and Spiritual Kingdom. 

Science proclaims The Reign of Law, Indestructibility 
of Matter, Rule of Reason and Kingdom of Force. 

Sometime, in some place, in some age, and in some one, 
thev must be reconciled. 

This Revelation can come only in the Scientific Age 
and through Woman's recognition of her divinity. The 
Ascension of the Feminine in her Divine Consciousness 
grasps the key to Personal Immortality, unlocks the 
Divine Mystery, unfolds the Plan of Ages, verifies the 
Science of Nature and rescues from misinterpretation the 
Book of Holy Writ — the Record of Divine Unity in the 
Magneto-Electrical Age. 

The Marriage of Science and Religion is the Wedding 
Day of the Divine Man and Woman. 

The "Bride" of The "New Testament" is The "Per- 
sonal Resurrection" of Woman. 

Two Forces, Good and Evil, in the universe would be 
"a Kingdom divided against itself." The Unity would 
be broken and fall of its own insufficiency. 

44 



PERSONAL, ABSOLUTE BEING. 



Should Sun or planet leave its place, 

Or wander from its course, 
'T would shatter all the Universe — 

Annihilate all Force. 
Could time or tide, disease or death, 

Self-Consciousness erase, 
'Twould scatter all the molecules — 

Obliterate all space. 

Should Human Nature cease to act 

Obedient to its law, 
The Light would vanish, Suns go out- 

So great would be the flaw. 
But Man is Truth and Love and Light, 

And Self is Destiny, 
THE UNIVERSAL ALL IN ALL, 

Immortal Entity. 

Could Molecule or Mole or Man 

"Transgress" their law divine, 
There'd be no Principle of Power, 

No "You," nor "Me," nor "Mine." 
Or, should the Will be blotted out — 

That human thing. Desire — 
Quickly would disappear the earth 

And water, air and fire. 



46 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

As Earth and Water, Air and Fire 

Are uncreated force, 
And Man contains them, every one, 

He's Infinite, of course. 
Without a Consciousness to sense, 

The Universe entire, 
How can we knozv there's such a thing 

As water, air and fire? 

Before The Individual Soul 

Could suffer endless pain, 
Sensation would be so intense 

'Twould rend the "Law" in twain. 
Humanity would seize the "Throne" 

And mount the "Mercy Seat" 
Before a "Vengeful, Angry God" 

Could wreck the Man' complete. 

The Consciousness would Waken Up, 

Assert its Government. 
Endowed with Endless Harmonies — 

Defy imprisonment. 
If Error rule in form or force, 

In purpose, point or plot, 
Then Man might recollect the Time 

And Place when He was not. 

And if he fail to find the fact 

Recorded in the store 
Of all His Own Experience, 

Pray, who can tell him more? 
And if some "Devil" or some "God" 

Believe it, don't you see, 
It is not Proof Self -Evident 

To him, nor e'er can be. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 47 

If "God have neither passion, parts, 

No figure, face nor form," 
I'd rather be the spook of Me 

Than such a ghost forlorn. 
I'd sooner boiv to my True Love 

With flesh and blood all warm 
Than such a Posthumous Belief — 

A bodiless unborn. 

A Nothingness — a No-body, 

The Senseless, Substanceless — 
Unthinkable ! Impossible ! 

Where is there "Nothingness"? 
Where is the "Formless" — "Feelingless" 

"Sensationless" — called God ? 
Am I the image of this shade — 

Unselfed, unsexed, cold-clod? 

Am I the Image of No-thing, 

With neither Passion, Parts? 
I, who am Science, Song and Sense, 

The Substance of All Arts ? 
I, who am Life, Incarnate Love, 

A Human, Natural Soul? 
Finding Myself in every Force 

(The Undivided Whole) ? 

With eyes to see and ears to hear 

And lips to speak the Word? 
With Mind to reason and explore 

Where memories have stirred? 
Why do I wish to be Myself 

Instead of Christ or Man, 
Or "God" or "Devil," tree or toad, 

And be just as I am? 



48 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

The Race must act just as it does, 

To Human Nature true, 
The Universal Man in each, 

And Each in that all do. 
Nothing- above the natural 

Was ever seen or sensed, 
Or aught below, beyond, beside, 

To stand in evidence. 

A "Fallen man," a "Lost, Lost World"- 
There is no room for such. 

Man is Infallible as force, 
With everything in touch. 

Incapable — impossible 
It is for him to "sin." 

If the Infallible is All- 
in All, without, within. 

Could e'er "transgression stain" the Race 

Or blot the Perfect Plan, 
Nowhere would be the One complete 

And natural, human Man. 
If "failure," "falsity" occur, 

And man is Fallible, 
That Haw destroys the power to be 

Ever reliable. 

If Woman "fell"— obeyed the law 

Found in her own Desire — 
The Race delights to do the same 

And face the Flame of Fire. 
Not one Transgression mars the form 

Or face of this fair earth 
Nor ever did — for Man is God, 

Author of death and birth. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 49 

Is Man a "Trespasser"? Ah, nay! 

Away with such ! Tis trash. 
Eternal Nature, life and love 

Would vanish with the crash. 
No chemics would afhnitize. 

No particles cohere ; 
Planets would not attract, repel — 

Nothing could be here. 

"Mistakes" within the Universe 

Would break the "Reign of Law," 
The Consciousness would perish quite 

If weighted by a flaw. 
Sin or Error in the Race 

Would do it violence ; 
So I'll abide by Order, Truth 

And Man's Omnipotence. 

One single "disobedient" Man 

Would all annihilate. 
The Act would everything dissolve, 

Forces disintegrate. 
Is there a disobedient one 

Within the Human Race? 
Pray, prove it ye, who thus believe, 

And let me see his face. 

If man can break The Law Divine, 

"The Law" itself is weak; 
Chaos and darkness the result, 

And not a Tongue to speak. 
If Man or Mote can "Disobey" 

The Grand Unbroken Whole, 
Reason and Rhythm have no place 

A Science to extol. 



50 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

If man or mote can disobey 

All Mighty Principle, 
Immortal Life is not a truth, 

The logic fallible. 
Unchanging, Firm, Fixidity, 

Man is the Truth — the God — 
All Infinite — to Nature true, 

Like Sun and seed and sod. 

I am without mistake — misstep, 

Am plumb and square, you see ; 
All I have thought and done and am 

Is natural to me. 
I've never "fallen" out with Law 

Nor strained the Principle 
Of human, natural ways and means- 

The Inevitable. 

I cannot deviate from Truth, 

Whate'er I say or do; 
The Bee must always do like bees, 

And to itself be true. 
Its nature, like the Mind of man, 

Is human and exact ; 
Self-preservation is its fate; 

Like man it has to act. 

Mathematics cannot change — 

The notes were never born. 
Astronomy will always be, 

The grain of wheat and corn. 
Man always was — must ever be 

Eternal 5W/-ishness 
Bound by Desire (the law within) — 

Immortal Consciousness 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 51 

Above "Transgression" we must be; , 

If not, the faintest flaw 
Can enter into life and love 

Without upsetting Law. 
Impossible it is for us 

To change the Changeless Me, 
"Reform" the Personal I Am, 

The Glorious Deity. 

As Bee and Bird and Bug and Bower 

Are to their natures true, 
According to their faculties 

Compelling them to do — 
So Saint and Sinner, Friar, Fake, 

Must figure in the plan 
Determined by the law of Self 

To do the best they can. 

Complete each force within itself 

xA.nd all within the Man, 
He All-Pervades the natural 

And is its Force and Plan. 
He fills the universe with Self, 

With Conscious Sentient Act 
And knows that motion, heat and light 

Are Him — The Human Fact. 

All, all the restless chemicals, 

Impelled by fierce desire. 
Ignite within the form of man — 

A furious flame of fire. 
Sometimes he fails to put it out, 

As written in the code — 
We call it mad — combustion — bad 

To be himself — explode. 



52 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

When thunders roar and lightnings flash 

And howling winds are high, 
The human being says 'tis Me 

In My Infinity. 
I sense the scene within my Soul, 

I've lightened, thundered, too, 
I've howled and screamed sometimes, because 

I'm Nature through and through. 

The animals that roam the earth 

All find their source in us, 
And maybe that is why they fret 

And fight and fume and fuss. 
If one is easy, slow and sure, 

We say the "plodding ox" ; 
If fast and sharp and shrewd withal, 

"A cunning, sly old fox." 

And if a man refuse to yield 

Up all his will and way, 
He's dubbed a "mule" — a stubborn brute, 

"A kicker with a bray." 
And if a woman seek to find 

Where her liege lord is "at," 
He snarls and scratches like a proud 

Old purring pussy cat. 

Could Selfishness its orbit cleave 

Or from its center fly, 
There'd be no motion, light or heat, 

Or Human, Knowing I. 
The daring, deathless, singing Soul 

Would be emotionless, 
If man could break away from Self — 

His Orb of Consciousness. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 53 

If Sclfishtiess could ever be 

Inoperative force, 
The Consciousness would have no State — 

The satellites no course. 
No equilibrium can exist 

Where Self is not the law — 
No form or feature e'er was seen 

Apart from Him who sazv. 

The Chemist and Astronomer 

Are greater than their theme. 
Outside of Self they sense no thought — 

It enters every scene. 
And when they view a grain of sand, 

Or solar ray explore, 
It is the Self in ecstasy 

They worship and adore. 

/ am Immortal 5V//-ishness, 

All forces are but It. 
Exactly to this principle 

Will every Substance fit. 
Poised, centered in this Law of Truth, 

The Personal I Am 
Is by the fiat of itself 

Its own Ideal Man. 

Apart from Human Consciousness 

There is no form nor force. 
Apart from Sensuous Selfishness 

The seasons have no course. 
All Error is a form of Truth 

When known and understood — 
Like light and darkness, heat and cold — 

A universal good. 



54 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

We oft repent the act we do, 

And vow we'll ne'er repeat. 
Then circumstance* past control 

Compel reluctant feet. 
We act as Preachers have to do 

And Prophets cannot help, 
Where truth and error, good and bad, 

Are balanced in the Self. 

Forced to develop from within, 

We never make mistakes, 
Although we seem the chief of cranks, 

Fanatics, freaks and fakes. 
Compelled to face Experience — 

To be the I, I, I— 
The inside, outside, everywhere — 

The Where, the When and Why. 

Desire is force — the God in us — 

The Dynamo — the Soul, 
That drives us into life and death, 

Obedient to the whole. 
Yea, every drug that draws its life 

From Nature's reservoir 
Completes its circuit in ourselves — 

Our brains and bones restore. 

And every Force that flits or frets, 

In water, fire or air, 
In its own fashion forms the Saint 

And Sinner everywhere. 
For we are It, and It is Us, 

And it is surely Thought — 
Tis Soul and Substance — energy ; 

'Tis pleasure, duty, ought. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 55 

Desire is Self and Self is Law, 

Divinity in one; 
The universal form and force 

In us — the unbegun. 
All breathe and move and are Themselves; 

They live and dare and die, 
And waken up to find that They 

Are All Eternity. 

Our "faults," our "failures" and "defeats" 

Are centers of success, 
Where modes of Soul Development 

Permit no chance or guess. 
And all our blunders, accidents, 

Are forms of Truth between 
Our higher and our lower Self — 

The seen and the unseen. 

The Nazarine was all desire; 

In his Self-Consciousness 
Existed all the forms of Force 

In Nature's Spaciousness. 
"Transgressed" he not — Impossible! 

It is for us to act 
Outside of Nature's Great Edict, 

One Self-Eternal Fact. 

Yes ! Jesus Christ was "All in All," 

A Self-ish Me, Me, Me. 
He justified the I, I, I, 

The feminine Idea. 
If this be not the Truth that is 

And was and e'er shall be. 
He was un-selfed, un-sexed, un-saved, 

Dead, dead humanity. 



56 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

In molecule and Planet Law 

He recognized the same 
Desire — Demand that dwelt in him 

All-Self-ishness its name ; 
Attraction, some have called the Force, 

Others Affinity, 
Cohesion, Gravity and Love, 

Aye, and Divinity. 

Above the law of "good and bad" 

The Great Musician wrought 
The melodies of Higher Life 

The Healing Power of Thought. 
He justified the principle 

In prophet, priests and then 
In lower planes of Consciousness, 

To Nature true as men. 

He understood the "Way of Life" 

When forced to "drink the gall," 
Within his own Experience 

Exonerated all 
Un-Selfishness did not exist 

To him — nor yet "The Fall." 
True to his Nature — Destiny, 

He was both great and small. 



Thou Mighty One of Nazareth ! 

Thou Great Infallible! 
Thou Self-Existent Personage ! 

All Wise — reliable 
Thou Defieth all the Race 

When thou justifieth Self 
"Just as we are without one plea" 

Including pride and pelf. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 57 

All, One with Thee in every form 

Of substance, thought and deed, 
In Crucifixion, Cross and Crown 

And Resurrection seed. 
One, One with Thee in trial-tears 

With Thee misunderstood 
By those we love — up "Calvary" 

We march through Human "Blood." 

Saved, Saved through "War and Sacrifice" 

Through martyrdom and bliss 
Saved — Ever Saved — though all things fade 

The Self we never miss. 

Aye ! Armies march and cannons boom, 

Progression causes jar 
In Universal Selfishness 

I see The "Bethlehem Star." 

I am the forces that I sense 

The faculties the "Me" 
Are natural — the principle 

Is Human-Diety 
Person of God — Old Orthodox 

I know and understand 
'Tis Jesus Christ, Peter and Paul 

With head and heart and hand. 

True to our Nature as The Bee 

The Great Infallible 
Poises the Man — He is the Poise 

The undeniable 
Apart from Him. there is no bee 

No force, nor form nor strife. 
He is Thought Substance — energy, 

He is The Cod of Life. 



58 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

The Universal Present God 

Is feminine — Is It 
In Substance, Number, Name and Sex 

One Infinite Outfit, 
In form and feature, passion, parts, 

In tense, and mood so true 

She is a human, natural one, 

A Self-external Do. 

We can not do a trifling deed, 

Or think a single thought 
That we are not compelled by force 

To do it — all untaught. 
No one can act or feci or be 

In any time or place, 
Outside of Self— The God of us 

That frames the form and face. 

This "God Within Us" is the Me. 

It doeth All in All, 
It knoweth 'tis the great I Am, 

In Beings large and small. 
It forms and bursts the seed and cell, 

It fashions the unborn, 
For from the outside nothing grows, 

Or Pre-determines form. 

Each tender thought, or fierce desire 

Is coupled with the fact 
Of universal faith and prayer 

That forces us to act. 
Each body has its Law of Life, 

Its own environment, 
The organs Law unto themselves 

Inherent Government. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 59 

We justify and then condemn 

And do it all untaught. 
Omitting - much — committing more 

As certainly we ought. 
All men have ministered to us, 

And we to all of them 
No actual opposition bars 

The Unity of Men. 

The spider weaves her wondrous web, 

Transgresses not the law 
Of her existence — this is true 

Of everything I saw. 
And though the unsuspecting fly 

Within its meshes trip 
Necessity — the Principle 

Upholds the moral tip. 

The chemic, gas and mineral 

Their characters express, 
And never violate themselves 

Argue, suppose or guess. 
The lion, eagle, fawn and flower, 

No Law of Life transgress, 
And man like them, True to Himself, 

Does nothing more nor less. 

My father's lips were never kissed 

To "propagate the race," 
Nothing so crude — mechanical 

Would fit his form and face. 
I do not think that Edwin Hunt 

Premeditated me 
While "Sowing Seed," and Swinging Scythe, 

And grafting on the "Tree." 



60 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

I cannot think that Abraham 

Once thought of Ishmael 
When he and Hagar — Sarah's maid 

Drank at the "Patriarch's Welt." 
And Sarah, "Past the flower of Age," 

Dreamed of her own I Am — 
Not little Isaac — but his Sire 

The able Abraham. 

The centenarian "Staggered Not" 

Through "Unbelief in God," 
Thet "Promises" to him were sure, 

Faith fertilized the sod. 
Two baby boys were born to him, 

He broke the Mora! Code, 
Pre-destined, Fore-ordained to act 

The Racial Episode. 

Tzvo Baby Boys were born to him 

While Sarah "Laughed with Scorn," 
The irrisistible was there — 

Compelled them to conform. 
The man was justified through Faith, 

Hagar was sanctified. 
The "Promises" were thus fulfilled 

And all were glorified. 

Two heirs had "Father Abraham" — 

"One Bond, the other Free," 
The fruit of both was fit for use — 

Two seedlings from one tree. 
From "Seed of Righteous Abraham" 

A little priest did sprout 
Pre-destined, fore-ordained to be 

Complete within without. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 61 

And thus through all events — a Force, 

A Mighty Purpose runs, 
While Thoughts in cycles wheel Within 

And Suns encircle Suns. 
''Evil and Sin fulfill their law 

As agents in the plan 
Of Soul Development and Power 

Stored up within the Man. 

Eternal Right is ever done 

Though seeming wrong appears, 
The conquered only fall to rise 

And shine in coming vears. 
Aye! man must pass through every phase 

Of thought to be complete 
In love, all merciful and just — 

To worn and weary feet. 

Yet past all change and accident, 

I find my faith in Man. 
Above all din of War Within, 

I know no change of Plan. 
The Life that bursts the flowering bud, 

Or fills with frost the ground, 
Fulfills its mission, and it must 

Forever round and round . 

The spider, bee and butterfly 

Are to ourselves akin, 
Inspired they move within the law 

Of Self— the Great Within. 
True to its nature, every bug, 

And bird, and bee and flower, 
Like every man and molecule 

Must manifest this power. 



62 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

And through confusion, discord, death 

The Human Being is 
And ever was Immaculate 

(The Universe) — He is. 
I know he is All Infinite 

No greater can there be. 
Within Him all must pause and pass 

Or else it cannot be. 

The seed beneath the broken sod, 

Some chemicals attract, 
And some repel — 'tis natural — 

Thus men and planets act. 
It feeds upon the food it needs 

To frame a form divine, 
— All else rejects — we do the same — 

On Thought we build in Time. 

Emotion, feeling, faith and fear 

Are Force — Self Chemistry. 
The Will — desire — is silent thought — 

Is Static Energy. 
Thought is the grandest alkaloid — 

The finest alkali. 
Trials and Triumphs root us deep, 

Our Branches reach the sky. 

The Past is present in its fruits, 

The Future in its germs, 
And both are States of Consciousness 

Externalized by turns, 
The Picture of the universe 

Is in the grain of sand 
That has position, figure, flux 

And history to hand. 



NATURE AND MB— ONE. 63 

Also contains the photograph 

Of all that 'is and zvas, 
Including all the Force and Fact 

Of future code and cause, 
And each event, however small 

A copy of the Whole 
Of life and love experience 

Within the Human Soul. 

Equally present I perceive 

The past and future are, 
To him who knows that He is all, 

The Substance of the star, 
The Source of all he feels and knows, 

A God and Man in one, 
Bound by the law of character, 

Around Himself to run 

The One who knows this Mighty Fact 

This Infinite Event 
Is surely great as that he knows 

He is the incident. 
He is the Whole-Immaculate 

And Human Natural Plan, 
The Past and Future History 

Of Universal Man. 



I've read the Bible o'er and o'er, 

Men wrote to be our guide — 
The one that Grandma loved to read, 

To Human Nature tied. 
They did the best that they could do 

And stand in evidence. 
The Woman wields the pen to-day, 

A Scribe of Providence. 



64 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Man is the "Two Old Testament" — 

The Woman is The New. 
The former is a He Affair, 

And to that Suture true. 
Their God was "Him" — their Devil, male; 

Their prophets, priests and kings 
Were Masculine — their angels were 

Great boys with flying wings. 

Their Saviours were the sterner sex, 

Male evidence sublime, 
Mohammed, Bhudda, Yogis — all 

Affirm their Me and "mine." 
The "Testimonial Law" is true 

As needle to the Pole — 
The Feminine fulfills the fact 

And justifies the whole. 

The Woman is the "Book of Law" 

That verifies the Plan — 
She is the "Word of Truth" 

The Bible for the Man. 
Beyond all doubt she is Herself 

And loves her Radiant Me 
Better by far than any man 

Because she is a She. 

Fills full the Octave infinite, 

A Prophetess and Queen 
The Ruler of her Realm of Thought — 

A sovereign, I ween. 
A Scientist, and Poetess, 

A Priestess and a Scribe — 
An L. L. D.— Me, Me, Me, Me, 

(The Revelation — Bride.) 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 65 

Adorned in "Robes of Righteousness," 

The "Nuptial Feast" is spread. 
The Bridegroom wears the Wedding Ring 

In Scientific Bed. 
The Virgin Mary now conceives 

The Human Infinite, 
Reincarnates Her Self again 

In Form Immaculate. 

Reincarnates the Consciousness 

In Re-Embodiment, 
Reconcentrate and reconstructs 

The Mighty Government. 
And Lo ! The Book of Books is Born 

The Science Testament — 
The Re-Establishment of Truth 

On Basis Permanent. 

Continuous the chain of Proof 

Unbroken "Covenant." 
The Age demands this light and love, 

Woman supplies the want. 
The Motherhood of God reveals 

The Daughtership Divine, 
The circle of the Personal 

Eternal Feminine. 

The moon and stars are 'neath her feet, 

And she a Blazing Sun 
Of Infinite Intelligence 

A Self Eternal One. 
In her the male and feminine, 

Religion reconciled 
To Science in its Might v Sweep 

Of Soul Ascension wild. 



66 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

The ''Opening of the Seventh Seal" 

Is in this day and age, 
Tis written in the Book of Law. And on the fore- 
most page — 
Nozu is the Resurrection Morn, 

And this the "Judgment Day." 
When men shall walk by Sight not Faith 

And know the Perfect Way. 

In Rhythm of Thought and Deed and Word 

Poetic in its form 
The Scientific Testament 

Is in this era born. 
And true to all the Law of Sex 

The Bible has a mate, 
The old one is a Prosey one 

But fits in spite of fate. 

This Book will not an hour too late, 

Nor one too soon appear, 
Not out of Time — before mature, 

And "Appointed" to be here. 
"Two Tables" glow on "Sinai" 

— Mount of Intelligence — 
One is the Self Eternal Law, 

And Man's- Omnipotence. 

"The Ten Commands" the other one 

Which "never satisfy," 
Lacking Mercy, Wisdom and Peace — 

"Failing to justify." 
Born and broken by us, alas! 

Reconstructed again, 
Remodeled, renewed and reinforced 

By Consciousness of Men.

In Woman's Day and Woman's Age 

This evidence appears, 
A Witness to the "Covenant" 

Of Israel's Signs and Seers. 
"Pillar of Light" to guide by night, 

A "Cloud" to shield and stay 
The Ark of Righteousness and Rhythm 

In "Restoration" Daw 



This Book of Power — This psalm of life 

This Anthem sound and sweet, 
Fulfills the Scientific Law 

Of Harmony Complete. 
The Octave rules it's time and place 

In line and syllable. 
Figures exact in form and fact 

In "Testimonial." 

The same relation to His Age 

Christ bore, as I to this — 
That hero was a Bachelor, 

And this one is a Miss. 
That Dispensation was complete, 

The Male was deified. 
The Female now ascends the Throne, 

And Sex is sanctified. 

America ! America ! 

Thy name shall honored be, 
Beneath thy flag the Woman wins 

Religious Liberty. 
She dares to own her Body too. 
And to herself be true, 
While serving Self she serves her God 

And dares to be and do. 



68 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

To Choose her mate — uplift the Sex 

Transform the Thought anew. 
Select the one whom she desires 

To do the "popping" to. 
Or, needing not an outward bond 

Her Soul to satisfy, 
Becomes a Law unto Herself, 

Eternal Ecstasy. 

United States ! ring, ring thy bells 

Fore-known thou wert to be 
The Birth-Place of the "Coining One," 

The Goddess — Mary — Me ! 
Pre-destined, fore-ordained to bud 

And blossom into Power, 
The Dispensation New — unique. 

The Scientific Flower. 

Oswego — modern Nazareth ! 

Prairies of Illinois ! 
Thy Soil brought forth a Baby Girl 

From seed of "Mary's" Boy. 
"Mother of God" and Grandmother. 

The female — "Holy See" 
Asserts her Scientific Sex 

In the "Word of God" ess — Me. 

She "Rends the Veil" and enters in 

The Temple — Harmony. 
"Holy of Holies," She is It. 

She is the Mystery, 
She, The Shekina — Sacred Fire, 

The "Oracle" — The God. 
"Pillar of Light" for Israel, 

For Science, "Moses' Rod," 



NATURE AND ME— OLE. 69 

Not after creeds, and forms, and force, 

Or fashioning of Man, 
Is Consciousness — the Personal 

And Infinite I AM 
"Descended" not from "monkeys," "worms" 

Nor motion light and heat 
The Substance of them All I am ; 

Unbroken — One-complete. 

"No end of days — Beginningless, 

And minus Parentage, 
Without descent" — the Absolute, 

And Mighty Personage, 
The Popcss, Seeress, of this age, 

The Priestess of the New, 
Is single — A Melchisadec, 

To Christos Type is true. 

From "Seed of Righteous Abraham" 

Of "Jesse's Stem" The Head 
Of Science Stock — "King David's Line" 

A Psychic born and bred. 
After the manner of a God 

Her Own Authority 
The Woman with "The Book" appears 

Seal of Divinity. 

Of Eva's "Root" Rebecca's "Branch" 

And Sarah's beauteous Bud 
Is Mary's Substance, Soul and Strength 

Her body, bone and blood. 
The Messianic Feminine 

In Nineteen Hundred One. 
Is Scientific — Masculine 

In Principle and Sum. 



70 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Fills full the Octave Personal 

Tn major minor strain, 
In Hallelujahs — Te Deums 

I hear the sweet refrain. 
The Notes are Gods and Godesses 

The Singing in the Plan 
Is Self Eternal Consciousness 

The Substance that I am. 

In pain and sorrow, death, disease 

Through which alike we pass, 
The Omnipresent One is Self 

In Everpresent Mass. 
The "Everlasting Fire" of Truth 

Transmutes the lower thought. 
In every Force, and every Form 

I find The Woman wrought. 

Lord of the Universe is Man, 

The Woman is Lordess. 
God of Themselves — Themselves the One 

They worship — Selfishness 
True to the Male was Peter, Paul ; 

Who screamed I ! I ! Me ! Me ! 
They all yelled I ! I ! I !— The Lord 

Sav do and order ve. 



Eternal Energy is Man, 

From Him all things proceed. 
And back to Him they all retire, 

From Word of Truth to seed. 
Old as the "Cosmic Force" is He, 

As young as fire or air, 
Without the other, neither can 

Exist — Be anvwhere. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 71 

Where is the Demonstrated God 

Or Devil Personal 
Outside of Him who knows Himself 

The individual? 
No Evil is, — no good exists 

If both are not The Plan, 
The God and Devil Personage 

Men wrote about, I Am. 

A Principle — A Law — A Force 

That premeates all space 
Must be a Personal Immanuel 

Or / / have no place. 
Intelligence and Life and Love 

Yea, Truth itself must fall 
If Personal Persistence be 

Not greater than them all. 

Above the Law of "good" report 

Of "bad" I take no heed 
Care not for censure — seek no praise 

Conviction is my meed. 
Truth, Truth, I seek and it alone 

Peace, Peace, I have and am 
The Infinite in Me is One 

Great Self in every Man. 

Preceding Thought, Emotion, Love 

Or Antedating Man, 
No Form nor Force was ever known 

To be, or ever can. 
Devil and God we, much adore 

And of Their Knowledge shout. 
The Human Being Rational 

IS both of them no doubt. 



72 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

To Be, to die, exist again 

As water, air and fire. 
And flit about, without a Face 

Is not what we desire. 
Or in the memory of friends 

Awhile — then be forgot. 
Perchance to be a worm or wren 

Or 20 acre lot. 

So Everlasting Selfish is 

The Man and Woman too, 
They wish to be The Deathless One 

The Endless Ages through. 
Nothing less can satisfy, 

They nothing more desire, 
To be themselves Infallible 

The Selfish Things Aspire. 

Learned not in schools, nor out of books 

Nor doctrines taught by Alan 
Is Self Eternal Character 

The Nature that I Am 
No higher law than Woman's Self 

To her can ever be 
The Seed of her Desire becomes 

The Resurrection Tree. 

"The Flaming Sword" turns every wav 

"The Tree of Life" around 
"Two Edged Sword" — The Blade of Truth 

Sharper than any found. 
The "Fleer of Dear Old Mother Eve 

The "bitted" one so sore 
Is solid now. She creeps around 

\\ ith crawling thing's no more. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 73 

Forgive my Neighbor? I am She, 

I eat and sleep and drink 
With Alary Hunt — my nearest one 

I'll pardon her, I think, 
Withdrawing condemnation from 

Myself and others too, 
Makes me a Perfect One — A God 

And to My Nature true. 

We cannot win Eternal Life 

Lose it, nor sell, nor buy, 
Inherent in Humanity, 

To each one it is nigh, 
Belief in it, or disbelief 

Affect it not a whit, 
The Principle of Self is fixed, 

Omnipotence in It. 

'Tis natural for us to be 

Immortal as to eat 
And drink and sleep and clasp the hand 

Of others when we meet. 
'Tis natural to live alway 
. As 'tis To Be at all. 
Eternal Continuity 

Is manifest in all. 

And though all forms disintegrate 

Through Principle Innate, 
The)" Reconcentrate, Reconstruct, 

Through Resurrection Fate. 
Though outward bodies seem to die 

And grow so cold in death, 
The Inner Self-hood holds intact — 

The Living form and breath. 



74 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

Now no one doubts this mighty fact, 

Self-Evident and true, 
And man is bound by Natural Law 

To do as chemics do. 
Bound by their own environment, 

The atoms cannot sin, 
Bird, bug and beast arc not exempt 

And a man a "cursed thing." 

The man is bound by planes of thought- 

By Mental Laws to see 
And act in his environment 

Obedient to his Me. 
Bound by the elements without, 

And sentiments within, 
By molecules, or modes of thought 

— In him, the Self Within. 

As I am all the molecules 

Of Thought that move in me, 
Molecular in mind and speech 

Vibrating Energy. 
As I am All Intelligence, 

In Nature I must be 
The only force I find or feel 

In its entirety. 

An Endless Life I am to live 

A Conscious Thinking Man, 
I know I'll be as natural 

And human as I am ; 
Or else I'll be compelled to feel 

Inhuman and to act 
Unnatural, and grope around 

To find myself — the Fact. 



NATURE AND ME— ONE. 75 



For death is Life in higher form, 

The bud becomes the flower, 
And seconds fly away to find 

Themselves in every hour. 
The Self throws off its outer mask 

Re-clothes itself anew, 
Reconcentrates Intelligence 

As Human Beings do. 

It breathes the Breath of Newer Life 

With senses all refined 
And all its new environments 

Are suited to its kind. 
It draws unto itself the Thought 

Best suited to its growth, 
And also the Experience, 

And then accept them both. 

A Universe within itself, 

A Substance Superfine, 
Its feelings and emotions too 

Are like our own — sublime. 
It forms its body from itself, 

Much like the one we see, 
With organs all in time and tune, 

A Soulful Symphony. 

It manifests all forms of life, 

And finds itself in each, 
In its Almighty Consciousness, 

Contrails the Power of Speech 
It clasps the hand of parent dear, 

It kisses babe and wife, 
And knows that death is but a dream, 

While Life is ahvavs Life. 



76 SCIENTIFIC BIBLE. 

It is the One — The Infinite 

When it the Truth donth know. 
Enamored of Itself Within, 

It knows no high or low — 
It is the God of life and love 

With figure, force and face 
In tune with all humanity, 

Events in time and place. 

It knows that sorrow, sin, defeat, 

Earth Heroes fear and fight 
Are done up in the Great Design, 

That doeth all things Right. 
That opposition, friction, force 

Events beyond control. 
Are friendly agents in disguise, 

Developers of Soul. 

It knows it is Immortal Life, 

Is Infinite and True, 
And finds that Nature too abounds, 

Repeats itself anew. 
That through these Living Processes, 

The Power of Thought IV i thin. 
Transformed, transfigured it becomes 

Free from the Sense of "sin."
